To the Editor Of the Republic:
In one of the issues of the GuzCttC there
appeared an article over the signature of
ID. NJ. Burns. township treasurer, in which
lie says il is not his purpose Ia put on
trial MesSrS. Davidson and Williamson. and
then proceeds at once to set up the plea for
them that they were only following the
precedentS of their predecessors in Office,
and states the amount paid to their lmme-
diate predecessors.
Ii it evident from the general tone of the
article by the Township Treasurer" that
his only purpose IS a defense OF his official
and political associates. This he seeks t0
do recitng facts from the official records
OF the township. and then. desiring
to increase the list OF evil dOers" 80 a. Ia
add Responsibility upon accOun; of the null
titude doing evil, he proceeds to make the
sweeping declaration that the dishonesty
of citizens does not stop with the certain
persons holding official positions of trust.
but is apparent on the tax duplicates of
scores Of our Nealthier citizens, and that,
while these trustees have been doing a
very wrong thing in Oyerdrawing from the
public funds, the county treasury is cor
respondingly robbed of many thousands of
dollars not by those only who violate their
oaths of Office. but by those who perlure
themselves annually relative to their pos
sessions.
Now, then. when a man Of previous good
reputation and acknowledged integrity
makes the statement that scores of our
wealthier citizens make dishonest re-
turns" and 'peTjure themselves annually"
by reason OF which the county treasury Is
rObbed Of many thousands of dollars, il is
to be presumed that he has some founda-
tionS upon which 10 base his statement
and it becomes his duty to give to the pub
lie and to the proper officers of the county

ing robbed of thousands of dollars. an

Having made the general accusation Of
perjury aud robbery against scores
of our wealthier citizens" proceed
to name the ''peTjured robbers,
or by your silence acknowledge
the statement you made to he a UUc SLAM

is suitable basis for the statement made
If he is the honest man-the political re-
former he would have us believe him 10 he

The knights of Labor, through their ma
tional legislative committee, object 10 por-
tons of the interstate commerce bill. They
say:
On one side Of the great questions m-
volved in this bill are large body of pro
duceIs and consumers who are simple in
their habits of life and their methods OF do
ing business and poor in purse. and from
their habits and methods of living they de
sire to have the laws made simple and
plain so that they may be able to present
their claims before the courts of the land
without having to contend with legal tech
nicalities and Determinations arising out Of
their ability 10 pay for the ableSt legal tai
ent In the land. In this respect the present
bill is the acme of legal subterfuge.
Therefore. We desire to call your atthn-
ton 10 this and few other Objectionable
features of the bill. We regard the follow
ing objections as fundamental: First, the
commission clause: second. the arbitrary
power conferred upon the commission;
third. the exclusive jurisdiction given TO the
federal courts TO hear and determine causes
arising under the act: fourth. the acknowl-
edged uncertainty a. TO the meaning OF

lIisdirected Enthusiasm.

) A gentleman who listened to Sam
Jones in Cincinnati tells the following
as illustrative Of the peculiar methods
of the r~evivalist: He was delivering
an especially fervid address, and a little
old woman who sat well up in front
was constantly interrupting him with
shrill- voiced ordinations of Bless the
Lordr' GLORY Halloinjah" and other
camp-meeting eccentricities. Jones
stood it for a time, but finally stopped
his address, and turning to the woman
said:
"Sister, enthusiasm is a good thing
IL it is only genuine. But you remind
me of a little steamboat that used to
run up q stream down in the country
where 1 came from. 1t had a very
small boiler and a very big whistle, and
every time the pilot blew the whistle
the boat stopped. Now let the boat go
ahead"

How to Keep Them Awake.

The great question that at present is
agitating the minds of Philadelphia
preachers is: SLOW shall we keep the
congregation awaken" Peck's Sun sug-
gests that each deacon be supplied with
a large dinner gong, such as are used at
railroad eating-houses to call the guests
to meals, and when the congregation
begins to nod let the deacons arise as
one man and play a few scales upon
those instruments of torture. A man
who can sleep while an artist is daily
ing with one of those gongs is surely
entitled TO his snooze, and nobody will
kick. Probably, though, If this method
was introduced into the Philadelphia
churches the next question would be:
allow can we keep our deacons
aWakeq"

What She Couldn't Bear.

Old Mrs. Tiddlewig's husband liked
his toddy and the old lady was violently
opposed to blbulosity. The other night
Tiddlewig came in slightly sober, and
his wife proceeded to talk to him.
"Now look here, Tiddlewig, you're
drinking again, and l just won't
endure it,"
"Why, my DEAR" he urged, "a little
toddy don't hurt me a particle. On
the contrary, it benefits me and makes
another man of me altogether"
al know it does, Tiddlewig, and
that's why I object to it SC strongly. I
might stand your getting drunk, but
when it makes another man of you,
and still leaves me the wife of both of
you, it makes me out a bigamist, and !
say right here, Tiddlewig, that l draw
the line at bigamy, and you've got to
quit"
